do you know.... how big of a crank gear..front chain ring... you can put on? To squeeze out a little more speed? Do you like it better then the Surly ECR you had? I like the front rack.. but I donno about the rear one. Looks like a pretty sharp bike. I just don't see 2600$... least not for me. Dropper post is nice too... I guess if you added a dropper and fancy racks to the ECR it would be about the same price. So... are you going to make a video of the ECR theft.. ?... How they got it. When I get a nice bike... I'm wanting to look into a tracker for it. But... it's prob. too much $. I can't remember the bike... but some company outfits their bike with a tracker... standard... Your bike gets stolen.... you call them... they track it down for ya. I think it's in some overseas company... their bike is like a city commuter type bike. Anyway... Good Video.
Wait what?! A $2500 bike with a carbon fork. I’m confused. Why does the Raleigh redux three (which weighs 25 pounds) have virtually the same components at $800 or less ?! U can put a rack on any bike obviously. It’s a cool bike but I’d pay $1200 max for this Trek setup .
Hello.. kindly I say this, if you take the "troll hair" (fake fur) and cut a donut and place the long fake hair around the mic on your camera, all that wind noise will disappear. This is what movie companies use.
I see that the seatpost base is buried in the frame. Did that pose any difficulties in the fit. I know the dropper posts are great but they do pose limitations when it comes to frame sizing
I did ride the 17.5" size, had to put the seat post up pretty high and the handlebars were way too close. The 19.5" feels great, I still have about an inch of adjustment down. My seat height feels dead on, I cant see ever having to lower the seat. This is my first dropper post, I can't believe the difference it makes on step down hill. Especially with all the gear on front rack. Maybe Trek will make a 18.5" size next year. Hope this was helpful.
Thanks for posting this. This is the first propper overview of this bike I have seen. Can't wait for more! Let me know how the frame bag does.

I am 5'8 and the most suitable size for me is 18.5, what is your advice? ?Why Treck does not make a 18.5

The Trek is a much better bike.

Rob K thank you, I will try that.
How tall are you? What size frame did you buy?
pavanatanaya I am 5' 10 and I got the 19.5 the fit was great. The only thing I needed to do was a slight adjustment to the seat.

Saleh Badhafari I am 5'10 and I have the 19.5 and it just great for me. The 18.5 was a bit short for me, but it wasn't that bad.
